1971 DeTomaso Pantera Navigation
Elvis Presley, who had a passion for both guns and cars, shot this Pantera with his personal firearm during a temperamental outburst when he lost patience because the car would not start. The two bullet holes on the steering wheel rim and one in the floor pan were never repaired and today serve as reminders of his occasional fits of rage. Elvis bought this Pantera for $2,400 in 1974 for his girlfriend, actress Linda Thompson. Although its mid-engine configuration qualified it for 'exotic car' status, the De Tomaso Pantera cost less than a comparable Ferrari or Lamborghini because of its relatively inexpensive, but still potent Ford engine.
